Pride Lands

So back in 2013 when Google Groups were still usable I searched for some discussions about The Lion King from the time it was still in a production.


Someone watched unfinished version of the movie:

It was known back in 1994 that the Morning Report was going to be a song

Furries were into TLK before TLK was even made:

A feelings like these, I felt when I was watching Zootopia. (not so strong, although)
I think, that's because it was a separate world without people and their technology, something different.
(How much Disney cartoons do you know, without humans and technology?)

Interesting, thanks for sharing!

I'm a bit of a net archaeologist myself. The are public archives for The Lion King mailing list, I'm interested in grepping for and reading John Burkitt's posts there. That's one of the two guys who wrote the Chronicles of the Pride Lands.

Can you link to these archives, Shnatsel?

Thanks.
